Hello,
Some thoughts that occurred to me while riding PBP 2023.
Sandwiches in the kiosks in the Controls:
* Jambon or Fromage is good.
Jambon and Fromage is better.
Jambon and Fromage and butter is best.
* The Camambert sandwich in Mortagne was out of this world!
So thick I could hardly carry it.
When you plan to sleep in Brest, but aren't fast enough - You won't have a bed.
Finding a spot under a table is your best bet.
If you're the first to come up with that idea - A local photographer will want to take your picture.
Meeting the 84 Hours starters in Loudeac when you're on your way back, and they're still on their way out is a very good moral boost.
Contrary to having them catching up on you when you're both of your way out (see: PBP 2007.)
- French Guy: I haven't seen a sign in a long time.
- Me: (in Mandalorian) "This is the way."
Doing proper ellipsis with some Spanish riders on the way to Dreaux was fabulous!
Joining 3 Swiss riders from Dreaux group to Rambouillait.
One was always at the back, while others kept changing at the front.
The 3rd rider sometimes almost bumped into obstructions on the side of the road,
and once in a while he rode with no hands, stretching in an odd way.
After a while he said his neck hurts and he can't keep his head up.
I called it: Shermer's Neck, and from then on I allowed some daylight between us.
When you ride fast enough - there will hardly be any Mindru photos of you.
At the LRM General Assembly after the PBP, if you've given to the community in past years - You might be elected as the new President of Les Randonneurs Mondiaux.
Tal.
